Powell Trachtman Logan Carrle & Lombardo P.C.

Lawsuit Avoidance - Business Litigation Attorneys

Contact Us

Powell Trachtman is different from other law firms. Our outlook is on the big picture. We believe if we can help you avoid litigation and keep your dispute resolution costs down, we will have you as a lifetime client.

Our firm consists of 30 attorneys who all have knowledge of at least two different, but related practice areas. This allows our attorneys to avoid a myopic view of your problems and focus on solutions that make business sense. We believe we serve no purpose if our solution to one problem raises other problems.

The secret of our success can be expressed in our four hallmarks: We engineer and apply preventative law and litigation avoidance concepts that really work; we function as a service business with the emphasis on service; we combine a manageable size with "mega-law firm" expertise; and we utilize technology to provide cost-effective service.

Preventative Law and Litigation Avoidance

We offer our clients training and consulting to ensure that they are complying with the law and minimizing the risks of litigation. Our attorneys are constantly keeping up to date with changes in the law, and we alert you when there is a change that could affect your business. We also work with you to ensure you have the proper policies in place to deal with issues before they escalate into full-blown litigation.

We Are a Service Business

We recognize that we are service business. We provide personal attention and the highest level of service that includes responsive representation, proactively alerting clients of changes to their case status, providing you with the peace of mind that your legal matters are being professionally handled so you can focus on your business matters, and treating you like a person rather than a business.

Our goal is to provide you with the sophisticated legal services you want and need in the most cost-effective and efficient manner possible, while attaining the results you desire.

Our Expertise

We are nationally recognized as one of the premiere architectural engineering firms in the nation. We have 17 attorneys dedicated to design professional legal issues and business litigation. Our attorneys have diverse backgrounds, many in highly technical fields, including engineering and computers. We also have two attorneys with a Masters in Tax (LLM) and our attorneys have decades of trial experience.

We have represented some of the largest construction and design projects in Pennsylvania. We teach other attorneys and legal professions about many aspects of the legal practice and about technical aspects in highly specialized areas of the law. We also are requested to give seminars for AIA, and we are regularly invited to speak at industry organizations and associations.

In addition, we have an extensive network of professionals we can call upon to ensure that you have the right person with the expertise to resolve your problem.

We Leverage Technology

Our firm leverages technology to provide you with cost-effective legal services. Our utilization of high technology includes case management, communication, research, and trial presentations.

Our goal is to achieve your goal in the most cost-effective manner possible. If you have questions or would like to discuss how our firm can serve you, please contact Powell Trachtman to schedule a confidential consultation.
